Lamson Radius Reels

To answer your question, the Radius I own has been an enjoyable piece of
equipment. It is not a large arbor reel, but its price makes it a valid
option for many people. If you can get a good price on one and don't
require a large arbor, get it.

the radius may not be a large arbor reel, but i think it qualifies as
somewhere inbetwixt a large and standard/traditional arbor.

i like considering looks of equipment, and as such, i had thought the older
radius was iffy, with asymetrical-looking sides. but it took no time at all
to grow on me. the price was hard to beat as well, considering it has that
cool conical drag. now i hear all the time anything more than a click/pawl
drag for small-medium sized stream trout, which i fancy, is overkill, but at
that price, consider it a free feature thrown in.

some may not like the click sound, which is kind of soft and muffled, but
like the backside of the reel, it has grown on me and i love using the reel.
